Influence of paraquat on dopaminergic transporter in the rat brain.
Selective toxicity of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP),a parkinsonism inducing compound, is well known to be related to an uptake of its active metabolite MPP(+)into dopaminergic neurons by dopamine tr...
Nitric oxide scavenging modulates mitochondrial dysfunction induced by hypoxia/reoxygenation.
The objective of the present study was to delineate the role of excessive accumulation of mitochondrial nitrogen species contributing to oxidative stress induced by hypoxia/reoxygenation in isolated mitochondria. The pre...
Digoxin increases hydrogen sulfide concentrations in brain, heart and kidney tissues in mice.
The interest in digoxin has recently increased due to the expanding knowledge regarding endogenous cardiac glycosides and a potential oncological application of this drug. Hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S), a crucial co-modulator...
Constitutive activity of beta-adrenergic receptors in C6 glioma cells.
Alprenolol and propranolol (0.001-10 muM) significantly and concentration-dependently inhibited both isoprenaline-driven and basal (non-stimulated) cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) accumulation in the rat C6 glioma...
Oroxylin A, a classical natural product, shows a novel inhibitory effect on angiogenesis induced by lipopolysaccharide.
Background: There is an obvious relationship among angiogenesis and inflammation. From previous study, we learn that oroxylin A possesses anti-angiogenic activity in vitro and in ovo. It also has an inhibitory effect on...
